Predicting the Future

Predicting the future using the horoscope is one of the traditional uses of Astrology. Horoscopes are used by millions today, as a reliable guide and forecasting tool for future trends and tendencies.

Astrology shows that the stars and planets are a map to our personalities and a guide to our place in the world. It explains how the world is regular and predictable (up to a point!). A horoscope (containing an astrological forecast) will place these trends into a context, with regard to our own personal destinies. It might even help you timing your casino games!

Enlightened Astrology does not teach a purely fatalistic view of the world. Within the environment indicated by the stars, as shown in the horoscope, we have considerable freedom to move and make decisions, according to our character and circumstances.

The stars incline us to take a certain direction, or to make a particular decision, but they do not compel us to act in any sort of helpless or robotic manner. Beyond the forces of the conditioned world, our behaviour is governed by our awareness, our intent – and our stage of personal growth.
